Vietnam And Beyond Book Dedication

I dedicate this book to my mother and father, Dave and Ann Markson, both whom had intimate knowledge of war.

I grew up in a home filled with military history memorabilia and respect for those who served. My father was a WORLD WAR I infantryman who was wounded twice during battle. My mother lost her brother, my Uncle Joseph whom I am named after and her brother-in-law in WORLD WAR II.

It haunts me to this day that I had no consideration at all for their love for me as I put myself at risk and continued to do so and write home about it during my 366 days “in country” while serving in Vietnam. I am convinced that someone or something was looking out for me. I now know it was them.

I came home without a scratch – OR SO I THOUGHT AT THE TIME…

~ Jim Joseph Markson, USAF, VIETNAM March 67-March 68 and author of VIETNAM & Beyond

AMAZON POST FIVE STAR RATING:
I read Vetnam & Beyond recently and couldn’t put it down. Each veteran told their individual stories, and each had different experiences. Mostly, I was shocked to read what a war really is. We, the readers, just look at numbers and casualties ~ they were nameless/faceless men and boys.

This book was full of stories of each individual, most with guns in their hands. Go to any VA Hospital in our country and you can see the result of what war does. These are very brave men & boys, all fighting for our right to live in Peace !

Thank you Jenny for reminding us and someday, I hope, their won’t be a need to tell stories like this. Bless you, Janie McGrath !
